A little care and the right technique can help you get rid of these pesky stains on your Coach bag in no time. Here are some simple steps to follow to help you get the job done quickly and effectively:
- Test out a cleaning solution on a small, hidden part of fabric before applying it to the stained area. This ensures that the cleaning solution won't alter color or texture of bag.
- Generously sprinkle baking soda onto the stain. Leave the baking soda to sit on stain for a while so that it can absorb all the grease and oil.
- Gently rub the area with a soft cloth or brush to remove dried baking soda. This helps to loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.
- Prepare a cleaning solution of warm water and mild, pH-balanced detergent. Dip a clean cloth into this solution and use it to gently scrub the stain.
- Allow the cleaning solution to remain on the stain for a few minutes to give it time to work its magic.
- Rinse the area with warm water and pat dry with a clean, dry cloth.
- Repeat the process, if necessary, until the stain has been completely removed.
Following these steps helps you remove insect repellent stains from your Coach bag without causing any damage or discoloration. You can also use this method to clean other types of stains, such as dirt, mud, and oil, off your favorite Coach.
